The ABC's of Thanksgiving

Just some of the things I am THANKFUL for big and small.



Airplanes- They allow for a quicker trip home to see my family that I miss dearly.

Boys- Brian and Jackson bring happiness and joy to my life daily.

Chick-fil-a- Great sandwiches, waffle fries, and makes dinner time so much easier.

Difficult times- They increase my relationship with Jesus and draw me closer to him.

Elliptical machines- My favorite workout machine.

Family and friends- Where would we be without them?

God's grace, forgiveness, and love- I need all of these on a daily basic.

Home- I thankful we have a safe home to live in and raise our family in.

Internet- I can easily keep up with with loved ones far away.

Jackson- He just makes my heart happy.

Kisses- The chocolate and non-chocolate ones.

Laughter- Especially Jackson's

My job- I love what I do and pray I am making a difference.

Naps- Jackson is in such a good mood when he wakes up from one.

Oatmeal- It is my staple for lunch each day and lowers cholesterol.

Pilates- Strengthens my muscles without bulk (according to Denise Austin's DVD).

Quiet time- Time alone with God, I wish I made more time in a day for this one.

Rest and relaxation- AKA vacation from school, extra time with the ones I love!

Sonic's Diet Coke with Vanilla- I think it may me heaven in a cup:)

Target- I love their clearance racks!

Uninterrupted sleep- I take what I can get and Brian is awesome at getting up for me sometimes

Verses- I love scripture, how it speaks to my heart, and encourages at just the right time.

Winter in Houston- No shoveling, scrapping ice off my windows, or temperatures below 32.

X-rays- They allow Brian to have a job and provide for us.

Yams- An easy to prepare and healthy food that Jackson loves to eat.

Zero health problems- Jackson and I have been relatively healthy, and are thankful for good health insurance for Brian.

What are you thankful for?
